Sandhill E-News

Hello Sandhill Families,

Next week, we are excited to celebrate Kindness Week with some fun dress-up days! Be sure to check out the graphic below for each day’s theme and join in on the fun!

In addition to Kindness Week, it is also AmeriCorps Week. This week recognizes the commitment of the millions of Americans who have chosen to serve their country through AmeriCorps. In Wisconsin, AmeriCorps currently has 265 tutors, 167 sites, and serves 5,901 students. At Sandhill, we are especially grateful for our Reading Corps Tutor, Kimberly Stoltenberg! Please join me in recognizing Kimberly’s dedication by wearing RED on Thursday, 3/13.

Also, be sure to check out the photos below of our February Sportsmanship Award Winners in Physical Education—congratulations to these students for demonstrating respect, teamwork, and great attitudes in PE!

Thank you for your continued support, and have a great weekend!

Best,

Bob / Mr. Johnson
